While over 7,500 men have pitched in the Major Leagues, less than one half of one percent of them have ever thrown a perfect game. "Catfish" Hunter was one of those and pictured here is a beautiful first generation print of an image of him in mid throw during that day. It has been signed "Jim Catfish Hunter, Perfect Game, May 8 1968, Oakland A's 4, Minnesota Twins 0" by the late Hall of Famer in black ink. While technically rating a near-10, the signature is partially obscured by its placement over a dark area of the image. The autograph comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
